THE DETROIT NEWS
When Joan Frances Casey "awoke" on the ledge of a building ready to jump, she did not know how she had gotten there. And it wasn't the first time she had blanked out. She decided to give therapy another try. And after a few sessions, Lynn Wilson, an experienced psychiatric social worker, was shocked to discover that Joan had MPD—Multiple Personality Disorder. And as she came to know Joan's distinct selves, Lynn uncovered a nightmarish pattern of emotional and physical abuse, including rape and incest, that nearly succeeded in smothering the artistic and intellectual gifts of this amazing young woman.

The most compelling account of multiple personality disorder yet, The Flock is the first written by both the patient and her therapist. In emotionally-charged detail, they make us know and feel what it is like to be a multiple with 24 separate selves. More than a "case, " The Flock brings to life the ordeal and triumph of a remarkable woman.
